UMD's Chris McIntosh is passionate about economics.

And the associate professor at the Labovitz School of Business and Economics starts to pique a person's interest when he starts talking about it.

Gender economics? Behavioural economics? Health care economics?  What's that all about?

Focusing on new and emerging areas of economics, as well as issues important from a policy and every-day-life-in-America standpoint is the goal of the new Vose Economics Lecture Series, which kicks off today.
